“I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame,” she said in The Times. “You need tremendous skill to be able get a woman’s shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.”
